Personal and early life

Kadhe was born in Pune to Jayant and Rashmi Kadhe. His father supported him for playing tennis. He attended Vikhe Patil Memorial School through his early studies and was supported and championed as a tennis athlete all throughout his younger years. He attended the Symbiosis College of Arts & Commerce before coming to OSU. He also got support from Maharashtra State Lawn Tennis Association (MSLTA) and Lakshya, a sports NGO. He graduated from Oklahoma State University in 2017. Arjun married his long time partner Kavita Mishra on 13 December 2025.[2] Interestingly, his long-time doubles partner Rithvik Choudary Bollipalli also got married around the same time.[3]

College career

Kadhe became the third Cowboy to ever earn three All-America honors. During his tenure in Oklahoma, Kadhe and his doubles partner Julian Cash became the first doubles team in Oklahoma State history to achieve the top spot in the Intercollegiate Tennis Association Rankings. The pair scripted a team-high 34 wins along with prestigious All-America honours at the NCAA Doubles Championship.[4] He defeated seven ranked opponents in doubles with Cash, two of which came in the NCAA Doubles Tournament. He also won the Pacific Coast Doubles tournament in March while teaming with Cash and reached the quarterfinals of the ITA Central Regional during fall play. He was in sixth place on OSU's career doubles wins list with 67. He clinched 20 singles wins primarily playing at the No. 2 position, including two wins over ranked opponents.[5]

Professional career

He appeared in each of the four Grand Slam tournaments at the junior level over the past two years. Kadhe won his first ITF singles title in November 2017 at Thu Dau Mot City in Vietnam.[1]

He made his singles and doubles ATP Tour debut at the 2018 Maharashtra Open. In singles, he lost in opening round to compatriot Yuki Bhambri.[6] In doubles, he paired with Frenchman Benoît Paire but lost in the first round.

Partnering Rithvik Choudary Bollipalli, Kadhe won his first ATP title at the 2024 Almaty Open, defeating Nicolás Barrientos and Skander Mansouri in the final.[7][8]
